Note 5 - Investments

At June 30, 2000, all of the Company's investments in debt
securities have been classified as available-for-sale securities.
Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with net
unrealized gains and losses on such securities, net of tax,
reported as a component of shareholders' equity and other
comprehensive income.  At June 30, 2000, the amortized cost of
the Company's investment in debt securities approximated the fair
value and as such, there was no adjustment to shareholders'
equity.


Note 6 - Segment Information

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 131, "Disclosures
about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information ("SFAS
No. 131")."  The Company adopted SFAS No. 131 effective with the
year ended December 31, 1998.  SFAS No. 131 redefined how
operating segments are determined and requires disclosure of
certain financial and descriptive information about a company's
operating segments.  In addition, SFAS No. 131 establishes
standards for related disclosures about major customers, products
and services and geographic areas.  Operating segments are
defined as a component of a business enterprise that discrete
financial information is available for review by the chief
operating decision maker, or decision making group, in making
decisions about resources to be allocated and to access
performance.  Since it is management's intent to expand
operations related to e-Commerce, a segment which has not been
material in prior periods, it is


                                   7

<PAGE>

believed that the financial statement user would benefit from a
separate presentation of selected financial information attributable
to this operating segment.

Currently, the Company manages its operations through two
business segments: Core Business and e-Commerce.

     Core Business: This reportable segment consists of the
     Company's health care information systems that include
     software licenses, related hardware, relicensed software,
     resold software and value-added services.  The principal
     markets for this segment include large and mid-sized
     hospitals, clinics and other facilities, including
     integrated delivery networks.

     e-Commerce: This reportable segment consists of the
     Company's Internet-based initiatives. Currently, the Company
     offers two products, e-Commercial Lab and e-Financial, which
     are Internet-based application service provider ("ASP")
     products hosted and maintained at the Company's offices and
     accessed by customers over the Internet for a monthly fee.
     By hosting and maintaining applications at a central site
     and providing user access over the Internet, these products
     eliminate the customer's need for capital investment in
     information systems and internal staff, while providing
     access to state-of-the-art clinical systems.  In addition, e-
     CEM (Clinical Event Manager) is in beta testing and e-
     Hospital Lab, is ready for Beta testing. The principal
     markets for the products currently available are the smaller
     hospital and commercial laboratories. In August 2000, the
     Company announced the formation of a new business division,
     Diagnostix.com.  Diagnostix.com plans phased development of
     Web-based products designed to streamline communication
     between the many constituents of health care - integrated
     delivery networks, laboratories, pharmacies, physicians and
     patients.  The Company's strategic initiatives include
     future releases of ASP product offerings as well as
     introducing additional Internet ventures and products which
     will target additional markets.

The Company evaluates performance based on several factors, of
which the primary financial measure is net income for the Core
Business segment and revenue, both prospective and actual, for
the e-Commerce segment.  In arriving at each reportable segment's
net income, the Company is allocating department overhead
expenses, sales and marketing expenses, general and
administrative expenses and other income/expense.  These items,
as well as assets utilized, are being allocated as follows: (1)
department overhead, general and administrative expenses and
assets utilized based on direct labor; (2) sales and marketing
based on total sales dollars and (3) other income/expense based
on revenue dollars.  During the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 2000, two customers accounted for 100% of the revenues
for the e-Commerce segment.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations


Forward-Looking Statements
--------------------------

     This report, and other reports and communications to
shareholders, contains forward-looking statements, including
statements which contain words such as "will," "expects,"
"believes," "plans," "anticipates" and words of similar impact.
Certain other factors affecting future performance, including but
not limited to dependence on laboratory information system
products, competition in the marketplace, Year 2000 readiness of
the Company's products and of other vendors' products utilized by
the Company, purchase and installation decisions of customers,
pricing decisions of competitors, changes in regulatory
requirements, product status and development risks and
uncertainties concerning the commercial use of the Internet,
could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-
looking statements.  These and other factors affecting future
performance are detailed in the Company's 1999 Annual Report on
Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The
Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any
forward-looking statements.


Core Business Segment
---------------------

     In its Core Business segment, Sunquest Information Systems,
Inc. designs, develops, markets, installs and supports health
care information systems for large and mid-sized hospitals,
clinics and other facilities, including integrated delivery
networks.  Revenues from the Company's Core Business segment are
derived from the licensing of software, the provision of value-
added services and the sale of related hardware.


e-Commerce Segment
------------------

     The Company's e-Commerce segment currently provides Internet-
based application service provider ("ASP") products targeted at
commercial laboratories and hospitals with less than 250 beds.
At June 30, 2000, the Company had two ASP products, e-Financial
and e-Commercial Lab, in general release and live at two sites.
In addition, e-CEM (Clinical Event Manager) is in beta testing
and e-Hospital Lab is ready for beta testing.

     In August, 2000, the Company announced the formation of a
new business division, Diagnostix.com.  Diagnostix.com plans
phased development of Web-based products designed to streamline
communication between the many constituents of health care -
integrated delivery networks, laboratories, pharmacies,
physicians and patients.  The division is currently in the start
up phase, and no revenues are anticipated in the current year.

     Revenues from the ASP products currently included in the
e-Commerce segment are derived from monthly subscription fees and
related installation services.  Expenses included in

                                  10

<PAGE>

the e-Commerce segment relate to the design, development, marketing,
installation and support of both the existing ASP products and
the products under development.


General
-------

     During the quarter ended March 31, 1999, the Company sold
its Enterprise Master Person Index ("EMPI") product to New Era of
Networks, Inc. for net proceeds of approximately $750,000.  The
pre-tax gain resulting from the sale was approximately $681,000.
The after-tax gain was approximately $429,000, or $.03 per basic
and diluted share.

     The sale of the EMPI product is consistent with the
Company's strategy and focus on its clinical suite of products.

     The effect of the previously described gain on sale of
assets on diluted net income per share follows:

     The results of operations for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year
ending December 31, 2000.


Results of Operations
---------------------

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999

     Revenues.  The Company's total revenues were $30.6 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $33.8
million for the three months ended June 30, 1999, a decrease of
$3.2 million, or 9.5%.  Revenues from system sales were $11.5
million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to
$14.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999, a
decrease of $2.7 million, or 18.9%.  This decrease was primarily
attributable to decreases in operating system and hardware
deliveries and a decrease in installations of software.  Revenues
from support and service were $19.1 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2000 compared to $19.6 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1999, a decrease of $524,000, or 2.7%.
This decrease was primarily attributable to decreased service
fees related to Year 2000

                                11

<PAGE>

installations of the Company's commercial laboratory products
partially offset by growth in support services to the Company's
installed customer base.

     Over the last three years, the Company has been experiencing
a favorable trend in revenue mix.  As a percentage of total
revenues, software license fees and services revenues have been
increasing and hardware revenues, which have lower margins, have
been decreasing.  This was evident during the second quarter of
2000 as hardware revenues were 13.0% of total revenues compared
to 15.8% during the second quarter of 1999, however, the Company
cannot determine with certainty whether this trend in decreasing
hardware revenues will continue in future periods.

     At June 30, 2000, the Company had a total contract backlog
of $119.4 million, which consisted of $49.9 million of system
sales and services and $69.5 million of support and subscription
fees.  The Company's total contract backlog at March 31, 2000,
was $121.2 million, which consisted of $53.2 million of system
sales and services and $68.0 million of support and subscription
fees.  At June 30, 1999, total contract backlog was $123.4
million, which consisted of $59.2 million of system sales and
services and $64.2 million of support.

     During the first half of 2000, the Company experienced a
delay in sales signings.  The Company believes that the delay was
the result of carryover issues related to the Year 2000, the
Balanced Budget Amendment of 1997 and historical buying cycles.
The Company anticipates that sales signings will accelerate
during the third and fourth quarters of 2000.  If sales signings
do not accelerate during the second half of 2000, as anticipated,
the Company's financial condition or results of operations could
be adversely affected.


     Cost of System Sales.  Cost of system sales was $5.1 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $6.2 million
for the three months ended June 30, 1999, a decrease of $1.1
million, or 17.9%.  As a percentage of total revenues, cost of
system sales was 16.8% in 2000 compared to 18.5% in 1999.  The
dollar decrease was primarily attributable to decreases in
operating system and hardware deliveries.  Amortization of
previously capitalized software development costs was $888,000
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $893,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 1999, a decrease of $5,000, or
 .6%.

     Client Services.  Client services expenses were $7.0 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $9.3 million
for the three months ended June 30, 1999, a decrease of $2.3
million, or 24.6%.  As a percentage of total revenues, client
services expenses were 23.0% in 2000 compared to 27.6% in 1999.
The dollar decrease was primarily attributable to reductions in
staff and outside consultants dedicated to Year 2000
installations.

     Research and Development.  Research and development expenses
were $4.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000
compared to $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30,
1999, an increase of $595,000, or 15.2%.  As a percentage of
total revenues, research and development expenses were 14.7% in
2000 compared to 11.6% in 1999.  The dollar increase in research
and development expenses was primarily attributable to increased
efforts related to the

                                  12

<PAGE>

development, enhancement and documentation of the Company's clinical
laboratory and e-Commerce systems.  The increases were partially offset
by decreased expenses related to non-clinical laboratory systems and the
1999 legal and professional fees associated with the United States Food
and Drug Administration registration of the Company's Blood Bank product.
The Company capitalized $1.5 million of its software development
costs for the three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to
$814,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999, an increase of
$723,000, or 88.8%.  The increase in capitalized software
development costs was primarily attributable to increased
capitalization for the Company's clinical laboratory, e-Commerce
and radiology systems.

     Sales and Marketing.  Sales and marketing expenses were $5.2
million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $4.0
million for the three months ended June 30, 1999, an increase of
$1.2 million, or 30.6%.  As a percentage of total revenues, sales
and marketing expenses were 17.1% in 2000 compared to 11.8% in
1999.  The dollar increase was primarily attributable to
additional sales staff and related travel costs for the Company's
clinical laboratory and e-Commerce products and increased exhibit
and trade show expenses partially offset by a decrease in
commissions resulting from a decline in sales bookings of 28.6%
during the second quarter of 2000 compared to the corresponding
period in 1999.

     General and Administrative.  General and administrative
expenses were $4.1 million in the three months ended June 30,
2000 compared to $4.3 million in the three months ended June 30,
1999, a decrease of $199,000, or 4.7%.  As a percentage of total
revenues, general and administrative expenses were 13.3% in 2000
compared to 12.6% in 1999.  The dollar decrease was primarily
attributable to decreases in variable compensation relating to
employee incentives, decreases in hiring and recruiting expenses
and sales tax accruals partially offset by an increase in legal
fees.


Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999

     Revenues.  The Company's total revenues were $59.2 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $66.5 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1999, a decrease of $7.3
million, or 10.9%.  Revenues from system sales were $21.4 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $28.7 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1999, a decrease of $7.3
million, or 25.4%.  This decrease was primarily attributable to a
decrease in installations of software and decreases in hardware
and operating system deliveries.  Revenues from support and
service were $37.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000
compared to $37.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999,
an increase of $49,000, or .1%. This increase was primarily
attributable to growth in support services to the Company's
installed customer base and growth in consulting and other fee-
for-service activities partially offset by decreased service fees
related to Year 2000 installations of the Company's commercial
laboratory products.

     Cost of System Sales.  Cost of system sales was $10.2
million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $12.7
million for the six months ended June 30, 1999, a decrease of

                                  13
<PAGE>

$2.5 million, or 20.0%.  As a percentage of total revenues, cost
of system sales was 17.2% in 2000 compared to 19.1% in 1999.  The
dollar decrease was primarily attributable to decreases in
hardware and operating system deliveries.  Amortization of
previously capitalized software development costs was $1.8
million for both the six months ended June 30, 2000 and June 30,
1999.

     Client Services.  Client services expenses were $15.3
million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $18.7
million for the six months ended June 30, 1999, a decrease of
$3.5 million, or 18.4%.  As a percentage of total revenues,
client services expenses were 25.8% in 2000 compared to 28.2% in
1999.  The dollar decrease was primarily attributable to
reductions in staff and outside consultants dedicated to Year
2000 installations.

     Research and Development.  Research and development expenses
were $8.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared
to $8.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999, an
increase of $640,000, or 8.0%.  As a percentage of total
revenues, research and development expenses were 14.6% in 2000
compared to 12.0% in 1999.  The dollar increase in research and
development expenses was primarily attributable to increased
efforts related to the development, enhancement and documentation
of the Company's e-Commerce and clinical laboratory systems.  The
increases were partially offset by decreased expenses related to
the 1999 legal and professional fees associated with the United
States Food and Drug Administration registration of the Company's
Blood Bank product and non-clinical laboratory systems. The
Company capitalized $2.4 million of its software development
costs for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $1.7
million for the six months ended June 30, 1999, an increase of
$724,000, or 42.0%.  The increase in capitalized software
development costs was primarily attributable to increased
capitalization for the Company's clinical laboratory, e-Commerce
and radiology systems.

     Sales and Marketing.  Sales and marketing expenses were $9.3
million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $8.4
million for the six months ended June 30, 1999, an increase of
$898,000, or 10.7%.  As a percentage of total revenues, sales and
marketing expenses were 15.6% in 2000 compared to 12.6% in 1999.
The dollar increase was primarily attributable to additional
sales staff and related travel costs for the Company's clinical
laboratory and e-Commerce products partially offset by a decrease
in commissions resulting from a decline in sales bookings of
38.1% during the first six months of 2000 compared to the
corresponding period in 1999.

     General and Administrative.  General and administrative
expenses were $7.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2000
compared to $8.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 1999, a
decrease of $947,000, or 11.0%.  As a percentage of total
revenues, general and administrative expenses were 12.9% in both
2000 and 1999. The dollar decrease was primarily attributable to
decreases in variable compensation relating to employee
incentives, sales tax accruals and hiring and recruiting
expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

     At June 30, 2000, the Company had cash and short-term
investments of $55.9 million, which consisted of cash of $8.8
million and short-term investments of $47.1 million.  This
compares to cash and short-term investments of $46.9 million at
December 31, 1999 and cash and short-term investments of $39.9
million at June 30, 1999, increases of $9.0 million and $16.0
million, respectively.  Cash provided by operating activities was
$14.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to
$10.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999.

     As of June 30, 2000, the Company had net trade receivables
of $39.8 million which consisted of $26.7 million in net billed
trade receivables and $13.1 million in unbilled trade
receivables.  At December 31, 1999, the Company had net trade
receivables of $43.1 million which consisted of $31.0 million in
net billed trade receivables and $12.1 million in unbilled trade
receivables.  Net trade receivables have decreased by $3.3
million since December 31, 1999, with $4.3 million related to the
net billed trade receivables partially offset by an increase in
the unbilled receivables of $1.0 million.  The unbilled
receivables represent revenue that has been recognized in
accordance with the percentage-of-completion accounting method,
but which has not yet been billed to customers under contractual
milestone billings.  Generally, the unbilled amounts will be
billed and collected within the following twelve months.  The
Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts that it
believes is adequate to cover potential credit losses.  The
average collection period, a rolling twelve-month average, on net
billed trade receivables was 81 days at June 30, 2000 compared to
80 days at March 31, 2000; 76 days at December 31, 1999 and 69
days at June 30, 1999.  The Company has responded to the increase
in average collection period with intensified collection efforts.
Days sales outstanding ("DSO") was 117 at June 30, 2000 compared
to 125 at March 31, 2000; 120 at December 31, 1999 and 113 at
June 30, 1999.

     Cash used in investing activities was $14.7 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2000.  Purchases of investments totaled
$15.1 million and proceeds from the sale of investments totaled
$5.3 million.  Purchases of property and equipment totaled $2.2
million and consisted primarily of purchases of computer
software, computers and computer-related equipment, and leasehold
improvements.   Capitalized software development costs totaled
$2.6 million. Costs related to acquisitions totaled $66,000 and
were primarily associated with sales tax payments and replacing
certain Antrim software products with Sunquest products.

     Cash used in financing activities was $459,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2000.  Of this amount, $507,000 was used
for principal payments on capital leases.  This amount was
partially offset by the issuance of 3,665 shares of the Company's
Common Stock for approximately $42,000 under the Employee Stock
Purchase Plan and the issuance of 673 shares of the Company's
Common Stock for approximately $6,000 under the Stock Incentive
Plan of 1996, as amended.

     At June 30, 2000, working capital was $71.5 million compared
to $67.7 million at December 31, 1999.

                                  15

     The Company has a revolving line of credit with a bank
allowing the Company to borrow up to $10.0 million.  Any
borrowings under the line of credit will bear interest at the
bank reference rate unless the Company elects a fixed rate or
certain variable rates contemplated by the agreement.  All
outstanding principal and interest under the line of credit is
due April 28, 2001 except for any amounts outstanding under stand-
by letters of credit which have a maximum maturity of 365 days.
Borrowings under the line of credit are secured by all of the
Company's assets.  Approximately $620,000 of the line of credit
is used to secure a letter of credit and is not available for
immediate expenditure.  There were no borrowings outstanding as
of June 30, 2000.

     The Company has no significant purchase commitments at this
time.  However, the Company continues to be actively involved in
identifying and evaluating potential acquisitions, which may
result in the future expenditure of funds.

     Management believes that existing cash, cash equivalents,
short-term investments, cash available under its revolving line
of credit and funds generated from operations will be sufficient
to meet operating requirements for at least the next twelve
months.

     To date, inflation has not had a material impact on the
Company's revenues or income, and the Company does not expect
inflation to have a material impact in the foreseeable future.


New Accounting Standards

     During the fourth quarter of 1999, the Securities and
Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No.
101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements."  The
provisions of SAB No. 101 are required to be adopted no later
than the fourth quarter of the fiscal year beginning after
December 15, 1999.  Management has not completed the analysis of
SAB No. 101, but currently believes that it will not impact the
Company on a material basis.  The provisions of SAB No. 101 will
be further analyzed during the second half of the year to confirm
or reject this belief.

     On March 31, 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB") issued Interpretation No. 44  ("FIN 44"), "Accounting
for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation," which
provides guidance on several implementation issues related to
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB Opinion No. 25")
and is effective July 1, 2000.  FIN 44 clarifies the definition
of employee and the accounting for stock options that have been
repriced.  The Company adopted FIN 44 during the second quarter
of 2000.  The adoption of FIN 44 did not have a material impact
on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

     The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in
interest rates.  The Company's primary interest rate risk relates
to its short-term investments in Tax-exempt Municipals and Short-
term Demand Notes all of which are classified as available-for-
sale.  At June 30, 2000, the Company had total short-term
investments of $47.1 million.  Assuming a 10% increase in
interest rates on the Company's short-term investments (i.e., an
increase from the June 30, 2000 weighted-average interest rate of
4.733% to a weighted-average interest rate of 5.206%), the fair
value of these investments would decrease by approximately
$536,000.

Part II.  Other Information

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

     On July 21, 2000, The United States District Court for the
Southern District of Florida denied the Company's motion to
dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction the civil action
pending between the Company and Dynamic Healthcare Technologies,
Inc. ("Dynamic") before the Court.  On August 9, 2000, the
Company moved to transfer the civil action to the United States
District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, or in
the alternate, to stay the civil action, on the basis that
Dynamic's claims were not ripe for adjudication and were
anticipatory in nature.

     On June 2, 2000, Dynamic moved to dismiss the civil action
instituted by the Company against Dynamic in the United States
District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania based on
the prior civil action pending between the parties in the Untied
States District Court for the Southern District of Florida and
lack of personal jurisdiction.  Dynamic's motion is currently
pending before the Court.

       On July 3, 2000, the Company amended its civil complaint
filed against Dynamic in the United States District Court for the
Western District of Pennsylvania.  In addition to the remedies
set forth in the original civil complaint, the Company's amended
civil complaint seeks an order compelling Dynamic to release the
source code and documentation relating to the software licensed
by the Company from Dynamic under the Value Added Reseller
Agreement between them due to Dynamic's failure and/or inability
to support and maintain the software, presumably as a result of,
among other things, Dynamic's present financial condition.

     On May 31, 2000, the Company instituted a civil action
against Park City Solutions, Inc. ("Park City") and R. Scott
Holbrook ("Mr. Holbrook") in the United States District Court for
the Western District of Pennsylvania.  The complaint alleges that
Mr. Holbrook ( a former senior executive of the Company) and Park
City and/or its subsidiaries have infringed on the Company's
intellectual property, misappropriated the Company's trade
secrets, wrongfully solicited the Company's employees, induced
and attempted to induce the Company's customers to violate their
software licensing agreements, engaged in unfair competition, and
improperly used the Company's proprietary information to target
and solicit the Company's customers.  Among other things, the
complaint seeks damages for the full extent of defendants'
wrongdoing.  In addition, on May 31, 2000, the Company filed a
motion for preliminary injunction seeking to enjoin, among other
things, Park City from using its current corporate logo, which
the Company believes infringes on one of the Company's marks.  On
August 9, 2000, the Court granted the Company's motion for
preliminary injunction and enjoined Park City from making any use
of its corporate logo during the pendency of the litigation or
until further order of the Court.

     On June 21, 2000, Mr. Holbrook filed a motion to dismiss the
civil action as to Mr. Holbrook based on lack of personal
jurisdiction.  Mr. Holbrook's motion is currently pending before
the Court.

                                  18

     The Company intends to aggressively pursue its claims in the
civil action.  At the present time, the Company is unable to
determine the probable outcome of the lawsuit.

     The Company is also subject to legal proceedings and claims
covering a wide range of matters that arose in the ordinary
course of business.  Management is of the opinion that the
potential liability with respect to these legal proceedings and
claims will not materially affect the Company's financial
position or results of operations.
